Hi,
Today I got a special "ok-because-it's-your-birthday" permit to work on the kitchen table.
I spent my birthday polishing engine parts with mother's polish after washing them in the bathtub.
That kind of soot that's left after plastic and rubber fire is the worst kind. It doesn't come off...
Hi Zerku,
Thank you for your kind words, I'll do as the phoenix bird, and hopefully I'll have a nice car till next summer.
I have many polish friends in Stockholm and i did my leather interior in Sopot or Rumia. I will gladly help you in any way I can. Let me know if you need any info.

I am painfuly aware that it was my infatuation and my stupid need of changing all the hoses to shiny new ones that caused this. I also think that the stock rubber hose would've held better. Ehh.. we all learn from our mistakes :-)

P.S. I've got a question regarding my radiator. The...

1 x brake fluid reservoir
1 x driver...
Yeah Steve, I'm aware of that and I really am thankful for it. I have 2 small dogs with me in the car usually and I probably would've grabbed them and left the car to burn. Plus that my really small extinguisher didn't help at all.
Anyways, it's my birthday in a few days and the wife said I...
Fire
Hello friends,
I've got some sad news, today while i started the engine in the garage at work a loud explosion came from the engine, my friend who was standing next to the car got some minor burns, i i got my extinguisher from the trunk and emptied it, but it didn't make any difference. I...
I received my A/C pump a few days ago and i replaced it today, the old one was louder than a coffee grinder. My friend was so kind and let me use his A/C machine and filled the system with 900g gas.
I noticed that the A/C pipes are getting pretty hot and I'm afraid that i need an additional...
I'll stop by my friends garage tomorrow afternoon and put back stock O2 sensor and stock serpentine belt. I never removed stock fuel pressure regulator. btw, i realized that the picture i posted earlier with my aftermarket FPR wasn't right: my FPR is connected to vacuum, however it was not a...
Steve, I think you misunderstood... I changed of course all 8 injectors back to stock, why would I do such a stupid thing as changing only half of them ? :-)

12:1 fmu
This is the one i ordered:

Thx Steve, as far as i can see the car is running very rich, most of the time the AEM gauge shows 10, 12. I'll order a 12:1 FMU today. I stopped by at my friends garage today and we lifted the car in order to put back original O2 sensor. It turned out I didn't have it with me :o
The odd thing...
Hmmm....
I completed passengers side as well and started the engine. Unfortunately it didn't make any difference. Idle is the same as before, acceleration as bad as before.
Here is a short video:

fuel pressure--> 40 PSI
I remembered that one of the O2...
Back to stock injectors
I've done some work today, I changed back to stock injectors on the drivers side, I'll finish the other side tomorrow. I changed the spark plugs to colder iridium plugs BKR8eix.
I threw in the new Vortech pulley, 2.78" earlier today before i began the injector swap, but...
